Hillwalking

In the British Isles, hillwalking or fellwalking is the recreational outdoor activity of walking on hills and mountains, often with the intention of visiting their summits. This can include activities which might be referred to as hiking, backpacking or mountaineering elsewhere, covering terrain which can include mountains, high moorland, remote passes and coastal walks.

Fellwalking is specifically used to refer to hill or mountain walks in the Lake District, Lancashire, especially the Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales in Northern England as fell is the preferred term for both features in those parts of England.
